Chapter 24: Settling In
Wang Ce was very grateful to Gu Anran's two brothers and sisters, and he also did the work that Gu Wan gave him.
At present, the house bought by the Gu family, although it is not a mansion, it is also the best in the whole village, the yard is wide, there are eighteen tile houses, and the front hall and back house are complete. Even if there has been no one living in it for two years, the house is still spotless, and the yard has never been overgrown with weeds.
Although Gu Wan was the wife of the Hou Mansion in her previous life, the smallest house in the family was much more exquisite than the one in front of her, but when she entered those mansions, she did not have the current joy.
After entering the yard, he led the four horses to the stables in the backyard and settled them down.
A dart master in charge of driving the carriage, looking at the carriage, always felt that it was safe to stay in the house and lock it, but the carriage was too big, and unless it was disassembled, it would not be able to enter the door.
It's not that the dart master is stingy, but the appearance of this carriage looks inconspicuous, but in fact, its skeleton, the materials used are really different, the four pillars are a very strange metal made, they dart master has traveled north and south, and it can be regarded as well-informed, but this kind of metal has never been seen, harder than steel, but lighter than wood, the wood of the carriage is only a thin layer, but it is very strong, the blade is impenetrable, the wheels are also unusual, elastic, most of the wooden wheels of the carriage are compared with it, completely the color of the goods that should be thrown.
This carriage walks on the muddy and potholed road, are easy, it doesn't seem to be bumpy at all, if it weren't for the little lady said, the material of this carriage was sold by a passing ginseng picker, she inadvertently bought it home, he wanted to buy more back to the dart bureau, Cheng'an dart bureau bodyguard, if there is such a carriage, the safety will definitely improve a lot.
Now many kings and grandsons, the carriages of the heirlooms of the family, for safety, there are also mixed with steel plates and iron plates, but one is expensive, ordinary people can't afford to use it, and the other is too heavy, too horsepower-consuming, and can't run fast...... It's a bit of a chicken with something like that.
Seeing the dart master drooling at the carriage, Gu Wan smiled: "Brother Li, what is the material of this carriage skeleton, I don't know, the material of the wheel is not available in our Feng Dynasty now, but why does it absorb shock, I know it, when the work is over, I will believe it to tell you, okay?" Now, Brother Li, don't stare at it. ”
Li Dart's eyes lit up suddenly, he touched his head honestly, and said with a smile: "It's still a little lady who knows a lot, and she deserves to be a scholar, hehe, I'm used to sitting in this car, and if I sit in something else in the future, my ass hurts!" ”
"What's nonsense, in front of the little lady, I don't know how to be elegant." Sun Dart scolded with a smile, there was no anger on his face, and he obviously knew the temperament of his subordinates. "Hurry up, don't be lazy, help carry everything into the house."
Gu Wan shook her head, both sides have been dealing with each other for three years, and they are very familiar with each other, so they are not polite to them, and they continue to watch with their eldest brother.
After the two siblings had made a rough tour of their territory, Sun Darttou had already moved most of the salutes with his young men into the empty house in the east wing, leaving only four half-human-high camphor wood boxes, still poked in the courtyard.
Gu Anran looked at the full number of books, and suddenly felt that the ink fragrance was fragrant, straight into the heart, and he didn't feel satisfied, his biggest achievement in the past three years was these books, he read through most of them, and he used to communicate with his classmates, and he still felt that everyone was among them, but recently, his level was obviously much higher than everyone else, otherwise, the gentleman of the academy would not have taken the initiative to recommend him to participate in the assessment of the Jixian Pavilion without him opening his mouth.
Seeing her eldest brother's expression of looking at the book as enjoyment, Gu Wan Tao Taoran turned out a volume of "Tao Te Ching", and said with a smile: "You can wait, clean up the study first, so that the eldest brother can read with peace of mind." ”
After thinking about it, there are six main rooms, one of which has the best light, which happens to be used as a study, Gu Wan raised her head and said to Gu Anran: "Big brother, this one will be a study for you, wait for me to inquire and see if there is a carpenter nearby, so as to build a set of bookcases and bookshelves......"
When Sun Darttou heard this, he stroked his beard and smiled: "Little lady, we are familiar with Yazhou, the best craftsman in Xingyuan is Liu Mutou, his original name is not remembered by others, because this person deals with wood all day long, and the big guys call him Liu Mutou, I will say hello when I turn around, and let the little cubs below find people for you." ”
Gu Anran was overjoyed and said with a smile: "That's really annoying Sun Dart...... I'm also from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift, I used to find a place to nest and read, but now it's good, let my sister toss, no bookshelf, I feel uncomfortable. ”
When he said this, he seemed to complain, but in fact he was quite proud, because there were more and more books, it was very inconvenient to organize them, and he often had to rummage through boxes and cabinets in order to find a certain book, which occupied a lot of his reading time.
Gu Wan saw that her eldest brother was working hard, so she drew an example, asked the carpenter in the village to help build a row of bookshelves, and also labeled the books, divided them into categories, and arranged them neatly, from then on, Gu Anran studied much more conveniently.
After tidying up the bedroom and kitchen first, so that they could live temporarily, Sun Darttou sent the two brothers and sisters of the Gu family to rest, and he took people to clean up inside and out, and by the way, he sent someone to invite a few masters who could do carpenter work.
It is said that if the two brothers and sisters of the Gu family are escorted to the ground, Sun Darttou and the people from the Cheng'an Dart Bureau can leave, but when they came to Yazhou this time, they also took an errand for the Mu family caravan, and they had to wait for two months, just to give the two brothers and sisters of the Gu family a hand.
If it is other guests, there must not be such a good service, but the Cheng'an Dart Bureau is entrusted by others to take great care of the two brothers and sisters of the Gu family, and Sun Darttou also likes Gu Anran and Gu Wan, and feels that Gu Anran is different from most scholars, there is no sour and rotten atmosphere, the literati are humble, and the little lady is also beautiful and cute, like his daughter......
This care is willing.
After a short pause, Gu Wan opened her eyes and found that Wang Ce and his daughter-in-law were already waiting in front of the door, so she hurriedly got up, beckoned people into the front hall, went to serve tea in person, took a vermilion carved lacquer eight-treasure box, opened it and said with a smile: "Uncle Wang, aunt, you taste it, it's made according to my brother's taste, it's not too sweet." ”
Wang Ce is an honest person, and he will not be polite, he will eat casually, until his daughter-in-law sees the dim sum in the eight treasure boxes, the patterns are not complicated, just ordinary flowers and trees, the appearance of the sun, moon and stars, but it is exquisite, the entrance is crispy, and it makes people have an endless aftertaste, and the tea is also different from the tea soup they usually drink, and they take a look at Gu Jiagao in their hearts.
